Buch
Softcover. Zustand: Good. First Paperback Edition. With all its hopes of a more just and materially prosperous world, development has fascinated societies. Looking at this collective fancy in retrospect, Gilbert Rist shows the underlying similarities of its various theories and strategies, and their shared inability to transform the world. He argues persuasively that development has always been a kind of collective delusion which in reality has simply promoted a widening of market relations despite the good intentions of its advocates.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Burma remains the odd man out in South East Asia. It is a military dictatorship, not part of the region's still-dynamic economy, and has a troubled relationship with the outside world, including that fact that it is the second largest supplier of heroin. This exceptionally readable account of Burma gives a graphic, often moving, and always insightful picture of what life under military rule is like for ordinary Burmese. This survey takes in a wide diversity of ordinary people and communities.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. 1. While sustainability is in danger of being reduced to a meaningless platitude, the brutal fact remains that industrial countries make a disproportionately large and negative impact on the environment. A serious transition to sustainability will require changing people's mindsets and social institutions, in addition to public policies, technologies and business practices.This book presents a path-breaking analysis as well as highly innovative proposals for managing this transition. Emanating from Europe's foremost environmental policy think-tank, it has already stirred up a major new debate in Germany on radical, but feasible, directions in which the governments of industrial societies ought to be moving. The concept of 'environmental space' and its ingenious development of indicators for measuring an economy's national and global impact combine with its delineation of concrete policies to give this book its intellectual power and potential political impact.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Product Description This comparative study of women's empowerment, sexuality and reproductive rights explores issues that are fundamental to the debate on population and gender. Drawing on material from a wide varieties of societies all immersed in deep change, the contributors investigate when and why people change their reproductive and sexual behaviour, and how knowledge is transferred within and between the generations. They confront the ethical dilemma for feminist researchers and activists: can we change cultural knowledge, codes and practice in this field, and should we? Tensions arise in acknowledging both that family planning knowledge and practice have forced change on to different cultures with little regard for the potential impact, but that the techniques and knowledge can be, in themselves, of great use to women. This book highlights tensions and concerns which are too often blithely ignored. Review 'A new challenge to traditional notions of women's reproductive behaviour. By exploring the 'zones of silence' these case studies profoundly deepen the way we think about women's negotiation of reproduction and sexual rights' - Gita Sen, DAWN and Professor, Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore'The book will, without doubt, contribute a great deal to the understanding of those who are working to facilitate the enforcement and respect for cultural and behavorial diversity and the enforcement of the individual rights for personal fulfillment' - Nafis Sadik, Executive Director, UNFPA.

Buch
Softcover. Zustand: Good. By the turn of the century more than half the world's population will live in urban areas. This rapid pace of urbanization is forcing a rethinking of development priorities, and this book explores some of those initiatives. The book opens with an introduction to the issues of urban development, taking a human development perspective as its central theme. Best practice in sustainable human settlements around the world is explored through an analysis of the nature of diversity in the city, organizational and participative issues, and the question of gender. The contributors look at the experience of living and working in a variety of cities, of creating secure homes and neighbourhoods, of design and the creation of sustainable environments, and the provision of health services and transport. Chapters examine how women, older people, and people with disabilities experience life in the city. Case study material examines the urban experience in countries as diverse as India, Indonesia, Somalia, Peru, Spain and Britain. Throughout, the contributors discuss practical examples of valuing difference and diversity, illustrating the need for an inclusive city - a city for all.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. This book asserts two central questions in African development today: have structural adjustment programmes failed, and ought the World Bank and the IMF to be paying more attention to the particular circumstances of individual countries and to the alternative policies being proposed by Africans? Powerful case studies of education, health, public services, and import-export performance demonstrate the frequent lack of success of structural adjustment. The book looks at alternative approaches to overcoming Africa's economic and human crises, including the importance of democracy in securing responsive state policy, the structural advantages of regional integration, sustainable development strategies, and a new partnership between state and market.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Challenging the received orthodoxies of social anthropology, Ifi Amadiume argues that in precolonial society, sex and gender did not necessarily coincide. Examining the structures that enabled women to achieve power, she shows that roles were neither rigidly masculinized nor feminized.Economic changes in colonial times undermined womens status and reduced their political role and Dr Amadiume maintains, patriarchal tendencies introduced by colonialism persist today, to the detriment of women.Critical of the chauvinist stereotypes established by colonial anthropology, the author stresses the importance of recognizing womens economic activities as as essential basis of their power. She is also critical of those western feminists who, when relating to African women, tend to accept the same outmoded projections.

Buch
Softcover. Zustand: Good. This is an account of why the Tibetan people see the Chinese as occupiers and colonizers, rather than liberators from theocratic rule or heralds of economic progress. Set against the background of the Chinese invasion and the impact of Maoist excesses during the Cultural Revolution, it explains the changing strategy of the Chinese towards Tibet in the 1980s - a strategy brought to an abrupt and brutal halt with the popular explosion of 1987 and declaration of martial law. The underdevelopment of the Tibetan economy, the continuing assault on Tibetan society and environment, and violations of human rights are all fully documented. The author describes the confidential negotiations between the Chinese and Tibetan leaderships, and he provides an up-to-date delineation of the political prospects for the 1990s.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Cutting through the Western media's stereotype picture of Africa as a continent wracked only by civil conflict and AIDS, Torild Skard has written an engrossing introduction to a continent in change. Based on her extensive travels through the region, Skard combines eyewitness accounts, lively description and deeply informed insight to portray the human reality of Africa today. With honesty, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment especially to women, she frankly describes the social, health, and other problems experienced by its people, but also the sources of hope for the future represented by courageous individuals, community-level projects, and programs being implemented in the region.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. This book presents new insights about the knowledge systems of rural people. It goes beyond the technical knowledge embodied in traditional farming, land use and health practices by dealing with their underlying ancient worldviews and cosmovisions. It draws some general conclusions about the holistic nature, strengths and limitations of these bodies of knowledge and describes how in various countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe some development agencies are supporting rural people and their traditional leaders in carrying out practical experiments based on local concepts.
